The purpose of this paper is to find the influence of employees’ work values on their creative performance and test the role of knowledge sharing among them.
This work surveyed 387 employees in six companies across three cities to test the research hypothesis model.
The findings reveal that comfort and security (comfort) work values have a significant negative impact on the creative performance, whereas competence and growth (competence) work values and status and independence (status) work values have a significant positive impact on creative performance. Knowledge sharing plays a mediating role between work values and creative performance.
This study reveals the influence mechanism of work values on creative performance from a new perspective and confirms the differing effects of different types of work values on creative performance.
